".
It is easily understandable that in many Member States, particularly those with common borders with the newcomers, public opinion is concerned about the impact on the labour market. I have said repeatedly that there are many independent studies concerning the flow of immigrants after day one of enlargement, working on the assumption that ten newcomers will join Europe at the same time. The overall conclusion of these analyses is that mobility from the new Member States to the current 15 Member States is likely to remain rather limited.
As for the questions concerning social rights, let me repeat two things. First, from the moment that a worker is a legal worker in a Member State, he or she has all social rights and access to all kinds of benefits and social security systems. As far as pension rights are concerned, during the Italian presidency we agreed on a regulation covering the social rights and pension rights of workers not only from the new countries, but also from third countries. That regulation provides a concrete answer to the question of pension rights."@en1
